Proportions of trans fatty acids in erythrocyte of Canadian adults before the prohibition of partially hydrogenated oils in foods: Results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey 2012-2015

CONCLUSIONS: Pre-PHO prohibition in food in Canada, t-TFA proportions were relatively low compared with a proposed threshold of 1% of total RBC fatty acids over which cardiovascular risk may be higher. Previous voluntary initiatives to reduce i-TFA in the food supply may explain these relatively low RBC t-TFA levels. Some population subgroups had higher baseline RBC TFA than other subgroups, but the physiological implications of these small differences, at relatively low baseline RBC TFA proportions, remain to be determined.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY NUMBER: Not applicable REGISTRY AND REGISTRY NUMBER FOR SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS OF META-ANALYSIS: Not applicable.PMID:38583806 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.002
